What important events happend during Warren Harding presidency?

He was involved with the Teapot Dome Scandal. This was the original "scandalous event of the government" before Watergate. The Navy was in control of 3 major oil fields at Teapot Dome, WY and Elk Hills, CA and Buena Vista, CA. One of the members of the Ohio Gang (this was the cabinet nominated by President Harding known for being involved with many scandals), Albert Fall, was the Secretary of the Interior. He convinced the Secretary of the Navy to hand over the property with the oil fields on it to the Department of the Interior. After doing this, different oil companies that were close with him wanted the oil fields so he traded these oil fields to them for different bribes including interest-free money and the like. Fall was jailed for one year and became the first cabinet member to be jailed.
